Pre-game

Andrea will be providing a running blog for you guys so be sure to follow along here as you watch the match on TV or online, or if you are in the unfortunate situation of not being able to watch the game, we'll be your eyes and ears.

Also, some random notes: the last World Cup qualifier the US played in SoCal was on May 13, 1989 when the US hosted Trinidad & Tobago. The final score was 1-1. US lineup: Vanole, Trittschuh, Balboa, Windischmann, Stollmeyer, Pastor (Vermes), Ramos (Gabarra), Harkes, B.Murray, Goulet, Klopas. Bonus points if you can put first names to last.

Also, we'll have plenty of post-game stuff so be sure and check back here.
